Basically for a brand new driveway that is supposed to last twenty plus years and concrete work that cost me a huge chunk of my savings- I now have a driveway that is breaking apart within months after it was poured. Worse, I can?t get Impressive Creations to come here to fix it. I notified Impressive Creations owner Feb,19 2014 what was going on and he kept telling me he would get a hold of the concrete supplier to get this addressed- but nothing is happening. I hate to have to leave negative feedback on a small business but this has to be fixed and it seems he?s just not that serious about taking care of it."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/cincinnati/impressive-creations-inc-reviews-3074080.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"First Coast Home Pros","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OH","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Andrea S."},"reviewBody":"They called a few days prior to coming out to let us know that our tenant should not be parked in the driveway.

They dug down on the side that was too high but then built it up higher than it was before. They left tar balls all over the part of the driveway that was not impacted and got tar on our retaining wall. We called the owner three times to let him know that he did not fulfill what he had promised and made our driveway worse. But, he has yet to call us back (one month later.)"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ky/erlanger/halls-paving-and-sealing-reviews-87507.htm"},"position":10}]}

Our 34 year old driveway had aging problems and tree roots growing underneath it, lifting the pads. O'Leary concrete came and totally removed the old driveway and laid a new beautiful one in its place. They did a great job and we love it! I highly recommend them.

Both driveways turned out great. JK Meurer was very responsive throughout the process and kept me updated on delays due to rain. The work exceeded my expectations and the quotes for both driveways were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!

It was a great experience. They took great care when putting the dumpster on your driveway to ensure there was no damage to the driveway. I have no complaints about the experience.

Initially went well, then the day after the pour, Vic Addis' wall sub-contractor drove onto the driveway. I asked Vic if this was ok as we were parking across the street for at least a week to be sure it was set. He first told the guy to move then just went along unloading the truck of the...

We specialize in everything concrete. Need that drive way fixed or extended? Sidewalk crumbling? Does the Mrs. want a beautiful stamped patio to entertain guest in the backyard? We have over 30 years experience in the industry and we are fully insured. Call us to schedule your free estimate.
"The patio looked good when they finished but upon further inspection, the grooves are holding water which will break down the concrete eventually. The guy who gave us the quote said that the deck debris from the rotted deck, that we were in the middle of deconstructing, would be removed and they would give us a step up into the house from the patio. The guy that showed up the morning they started wanted to charge us $1000 more to get the debris removed and did not give us a step. We had to opt not to pay the extra for the dumpster because could get one cheaper. They guy claimed there was only 3” from the patio to the doorway except upon measuring, it is actually a 6” step down from the doorway to the patio now. On top of that the guy brought an all Spanish speaking crew and left them all day without supervision. We could not communicate with them and they brought alcohol and were drinking on the job."

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Madeira, OH
The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
